Discussions in U.S. politics about stablecoin policies are heating up, and amendments to the "GENIUS Act" could weaken America's competitiveness in global digital payments.

Policymakers need to respond cautiously.

An anonymous address has been mining continuously since November 2016, producing a total of 4,165 BTC, currently valued at approximately $375 million, and has never sold, remaining in a "frozen" state. This long-term holding confidence is very rare in the crypto community.

【Chain Wen】Telegram founder Pavel Durov recently posted a message in response to some recent questions. He clearly stated that, from a capital structure perspective, Telegram has no connection to Russia. Most importantly — in the just-completed $1.7 billion bond financing, there was no participation from Russian investors.
Regarding the bonds issued earlier in 2021, Durov said they have been mostly repaid and there are no issues. He particularly emphasized a commonly confused point: bondholders and shareholders are two different concepts. Currently, the only shareholder of Telegram remains himself.
It is worth noting that there were previous reports that Telegram’s $500 million bonds in Russia were frozen due to Western sanctions. Durov’s recent post essentially clarifies Telegram’s independence in platform financing and the stability of its core equity structure. This is especially relevant for those relying on Tele

Recently, Meme coins on Solana have surged due to the explosion of Japan's subculture "Beast Sempai." The market capitalization of related tokens has increased significantly, with astonishing gains. Favorable policies on cryptocurrencies by the Japanese government and the overall market recovery have driven the enthusiasm, but Meme coins lack fundamental support, posing huge risks.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Recently, there has been an interesting trading address active in the market, frequently making moves since January. This trader's approach is quite unique—they started with $50,000 and managed to earn $260,000. Over 82 open and close trades, their win rate has consistently stayed above 80%. How did they do it? The key lies in their "Pyramid-style Hedging Grid Strategy."
In simple terms, they are not betting on a single direction, but layering buy and sell orders within a set price range. For example, in this recent wave, they densely placed 100 short orders between $92,000 and $94,200, gradually building positions in a pyramid manner. As a result, all these orders were filled—today, the short orders within this price range have been 100% executed.
The current situation is as follows: this address holds a BTC short position with 20x leverage, an average price of $91,900, and an unrealized loss of 36%. But they are not panicking; instead, they are focusing on the range between $80,000 and $87,000.
